Does this or close(timeline) releases the submissions?

I suggest a variant without the fence anyway for a slightly different 
profile.

These will be preemptible right? More so they schedule out on semaphore 
interrupt straight away? So I don't see how slaves can be prevented from 
running because they always are on a different physical engine.

We would need a test flavour where slave spins non-preemptively until 
either the master or CPU signals to stop. Coming up with the exact 
scheme to achieve this might be challenging. I can think about this more 
tomorrow.

And also I don't know why this would fail with my patch! I'll want to 
have a experiment with that tomorrow as well.
